He’s not wrong, the two main parties absolutely do collude to create a duopoly.
He’s also the wrong messenger to deliver the message.
The two main parties are so big that they don’t need to collude. Every single component of our media will do the work for them.
Colluding involves communication and coordinated ation. They don’t need to collude because excluding third parties is in their best interest.
Both parties are still wary after the outcome in 1992 when Ross Perot received nearly 20% of the vote after being included in the debates. Neither want to risk having a wildcard on stage.

Well thats really none of their business so long as this is a democracy. What they want is irrelevant.
He’s polling high enough. He should be included.
He’s polling at 10% nationally. He should be included.
The rules say it has to be 15%.
And if were polling at 20 they would change the requirement to 21
Duopoly kinda makes it sounds like there are 2 options, instead of 2 right wing factions with same end game
It’s not just that.
Every other election debates are held by a nonpartisan organization and a third party that meets certain requirements can also join.
Because political parties are private organizations not attached to the government.
This election both parties agreed they will only do debates that they arrange.
Meaning they’re in charge of who shows up, and they’ll never both agree to let anyone else join.
People keep acting like it doesn’t matter, but it’s a big deal.
Edit:
Obviously RFK is a joke and won’t win, but we shouldn’t just shrug as the two private parties seize more and more power when they have zero accountability to voters and neither side will ever be held accountable by their own politicians.
The lower one side goes, the lower the other side goes. How are you gonna vote out fascism when the Democrats go a low as they can simply because Republicans go lower. Trump doesn’t even need to win at this point for fascism to continue encroaching because Dems will continue to strip liberties like fair debates away under the guise of stopping the other sides fascism. Every day we march rightward.
That’s just the worm talking Bobby. In reality, no one respects you or sees you as a real candidate.
There are a few RFK signs by houses in a rural area by me. They used to have Trump signs though, so I think it’s a wash.
